Park Hyung SikThe popular idol transformed into an actor recently opened on the difficult experiences he faced as a trainee before his debut. The star appeared recently Tuiz on the block Where he shared how his first days in the entertainment sector were marked with bullying and isolation.
Park Hyung Sik revealed that when she entered the world of entertainment for the first time, she had little interest for it and did not dream of becoming an idol. His journey into the musical industry started unexpectedly when he joined a middle school band, where in the end he won a prize and received a casting offer that would change his life.
At the beginning, I had no dreams of entering the entertainment sector. I thought it was a completely different world from mine.
In middle school, I joined the band’s club because I knew how to sing. We participated in a competition and, while I won a prize, I also received a casting card, and that’s how it all started.

However, his time as a trainee was not as smooth as it might seem. Park admitted that, like one of the new internships, it has often been misunderstood by his trainee colleagues, who came from more traditional routes such as auditions. As a result, Park found himself isolated and focused on the improvement of his skills.
Before joining ze: a, I was briefly in another company that had launched me in a band competition. At that time, I had been chosen, but there were other trainees who came through the auditions, so I probably seemed to be a “parachute” for them. As a result, the other trainees have kept their distance from me. I thought that the life of the trainees concerned the competition, the collection of sides and bullying. I decided to focus on doing well alone. In the end, it’s about showing you with skill, so I am used to practicing myself.

Things began to change when he joined Them: aThe company and his companions have started to offer greater support. He remembered how they helped him move from isolation to a warmer environment.
I didn’t even eat and I spent all my time practicing ballads in a small room. One of the oldest members would say: “Why do you do it alone? Let’s eat first‘And they started to get me out. The Ze: a member brought me from the dark in the light, from a room that had a smell of mold in the basement. We ate together and joked around, and I remember again.

Unfortunately, the star’s experience has been made even more difficult by the demanding conditions of the life of trainees. With Ze: the close -knit group of A shared a small room and lived in difficult circumstances.
The environment itself was really difficult then. All nine members had to enter a car. If the leader sat on the passenger seat, the other eight sits down in the back, in order of age.
We lived in a room with two bunk beds and shared a bathroom between nine people. With so many members, it was the same. We woke up 2 hours before and Dongjun and I washed first. When it was the turn of the next member, we woke them up, but it took it so much time to wash, so Dongjun and I went back to sleep.

Reflecting on his journey to become an actor, Park admitted that, despite his success, he has not always been easy.
I did not specialize in acting and I learned at work, so there were many things that I missed. From a young age, I heard people tell me: “you have no talent” and even if I knew it was true, my ears would become red and my hands agitated, but I still wanted to do well.
